Summary

  • Fixed a TypeError: 'DocMetadata' object does not support item assignment in the NER node's writeDocuments method.
  • Switched from shallow copy to deep copy (model_copy(deep=True)) to ensure original documents are not mutated, adhering to the node's contract.
  • Added proper initialization for documents arriving without metadata, ensuring they carry a valid DocMetadata object.

Type

  • Bug Fix

Testing

  • Created a regression test nodes/test/test_ner_write_documents.py that verifies:
    • No TypeError when assigning entities to DocMetadata.
    • Original documents remain untouched after enrichment (Deep Copy verification).
    • Documents with missing metadata are correctly initialized.
  • All 3 new tests passed successfully.

Fixes #2064

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved named-entity metadata enrichment for documents.
    • Preserved original documents by creating enriched copies.
    • Properly initializes missing document metadata using available identifiers.
    • Records person and organization entities, along with consistent total entity counts.
    • Forwards enriched documents without metadata-related errors.
  • Tests

    • Added regression coverage for metadata enrichment, missing metadata initialization, entity counts, and document preservation.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The NER document path now deep-copies documents, preserves DocMetadata, initializes missing metadata, and assigns extracted entity fields through attributes. Regression tests cover enrichment, immutability, and missing metadata.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update document enrichment

writeDocuments deep-copies documents, initializes missing DocMetadata with identifiers, and assigns entity fields and counts through metadata attributes.

Added mocked regression tests for successful enrichment, original metadata preservation, and missing-metadata initialization.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 157ae

The PR fixes NER document enrichment and prevents document mutation, but its regression tests do not exercise the real metadata and copy behavior and may interfere with other tests through module cleanup. Merge should wait for the tests to be corrected.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Use real Doc and DocMetadata classes in these regression tests.

Lines 26-28 replace the rocketride schema modules with MagicMock. Line 32 then imports a mocked DocMetadata. IInstance.writeDocuments imports that same mocked class at runtime. The assertion at Line 117 only proves that metadata is not None. It does not prove that metadata is a DocMetadata instance.

Construct real Doc and DocMetadata objects. Assert isinstance(enriched_doc.metadata, DocMetadata). Assert doc.model_copy was called with deep=True. Assert the original metadata has no entity fields after enrichment. Scope only unavoidable import mocks with pytest monkeypatch so they do not persist in sys.modules after this test module.
